what size tyre can/should i fit?

[xwhatsit]

I much prefer my 21st Century Honda, thanks.

They're feckin' boring, though.

Not big on the Comstars myself, or the porky Wet Dreams, but you get a motorcycle like the 400 Four produced and that's enough to redeem the sins of three decades, not just one.

You had a CB500RS, you might recall the crude thrills and laughs that gave you I'm sorry, but after doing some marginal kilometres on a GSXR600, I'd rather buy a car than be that bored again.

You need to do more than sit on it...

Hahaha. No, but seriously, it needs the windscreen and fairings tossed out. And one of the cylinders cut off, so it vibrates and spits and farts. And a flexible twin-shock swing arm and forks that twist and untwist through bends. Then you'd have a fun motorcycle.

well two trips down the expressway & i like the new tyre !
still moves a bit but feels a lot more secure on the road

tried that swingarm trick xerxez, & its solid as a rock, no movement at all

Geeeeeewd, another thing to check is your steering head bearings. If they're a bit loose and shagged out they'll feel like that too.

Probably just the piss-poor rear shocks.

Glad to hear the tyre sorted most of it out. Win!

mafoo-90 90/19 front. 110/80/18 rear.
They have skinny tyres-thats life.
Wobles if all is tight a-bearing etc is shagged shocks-they wallowed when back shocks were worn out

On the old car tyres the measurements were 1 to 1; IE 4.10 X 18 means 4.1 inches wide times 4.1 inches high on an 18" rim. 3.50 X 18 means 3.5 inches wide times 3.5 inches high etc....
4.10 X 18 is converted to: 4.1 inches = 104mm.... so you end up with 104 / 100 (remember this is a percentage of the height) X 18. No such tyre but if you go to a 110/90X18 you end up with 110mm/99mm X18. pretty close. 110/80X18 is 110mm/88mm X 18, not quite tall enough. Rule of thumb in car stuff is to try to stay within 2.5% of original height.
There ya go.....
